I just read this on Kris Norris' Facebook I thought it was pretty interesting. Sounds like there was bad shit going on in Darkest Hour:

If you've seen the news yes I said ex Dh Ryan is going to play drums on my new project I don't keep up on this stuff I didn't know it wasn't public yet I'm sorry but regardless I'm still so stoked and happy to have Ryan part of my new musical endeavors I guess it's caused quite a stir well let's leave it to the Dh guys to tell you what's happening all I know us Ryan is drumming on the new cd im doing and fuck I couldn't be happier as for SlS I hope you guys enjoy the new stuff I'm writing for them major things to be announced soon let's just all have a good time Ryan and I and I are back together like a bunch of love sick puppies damn it feels good

*To clear things up SLS is Straight Line Stitch*

I guess Darkest Hour will be making an official announcement about this soon. I wonder if they can get a fill in drummer fast enough for the Machine Head tour?

This sucks. Last DH was one of their best too.

3rd best for me. The two with Devin Townsend producing (Undoing Ruin, Deliver Us) are still my favorites.

God I hope so. They are the only good support band on the bill and I really want to see them again.

They have a fill-in. Apparently Ryan Parrish left before the European Machine Head tour.

Not a big fan of theirs, but I feel for these guys. Talented band, hopefully they regroup.
